I just took the car to get to the other side of campus for a minute and during a left turn I heard and felt what I thought may be my Passenger-Side Rear tire rubbing. When I heard it again a few seconds later on another turn, I pulled over into a parking lot & looked at the car.
Here's what I observed:- The entire back end of car is/was lifted up & I can fit almost 5 fingers between the tire & fender on the drivers side, and squeeze 4 in the Passenger-side.
- Passenger side rear wheel looks like it's on a slant in
- I can move the body of the car by pushing on the fender.
I slowly crept back to my place after that. I also noticed that there is a "Jello Effect" (for lack of better words) for a few seconds when you jerk the wheel.
Miscellaneous info: - The parking lot has not been plowed since the last storm an there are small hard bumps/hills of packed snow/ice all over the lot and in every parking spot. Could the car being parked overnight with 1 tire on one of these bumps caused this?
- Stock shocks.
- Stock springs with Heater hose & rubber isolator removed (July 2009)
- 25k mile Rear-end swapped in (August 2009)
What does this sound like to you guys? I'm pretty concerned and it sucks because I'm down at Rutgers now with no access to even a jack and basic tools. I'll try to provide answers to any other questions you guys may have as best I can...
